As Bosnia and Herzegovina prepares to face the United States in a much-anticipated World Cup match, a father-and-son team at a Bosnian restaurant in Santa Clara is welcoming supporters from across the country with a taste of home.

Euro Grill, owned by Mirza Avdic and his father, has become a gathering place for fans traveling to the Bay Area as Bosnia and Herzegovina makes its first-ever appearance in the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup.

"This restaurant is a small place where you can feel like home. Not just for the Bosnian community, but for anybody who comes. If they finish their food, they don't need to just go, give me your money and go. No, they can stay, they can talk. They can hang out. That's what Bosnian spirit means -- ćejf, ćejf means to enjoy."
